New 2024 MINI Countryman John Cooper Works: The BEST SUV yet...

This video is sponsored by TiTium Audio: geni.us/UgZP3n3
In this video, I take the brand-new 2024 Mini Countryman camping… and because I’m a bit of a nerd, I reveal the tech I took with me to make the trip ‘comfortable’ (you won’t believe one of the items). But, more importantly, I answer the big question: should you buy the new Mini Countryman?

    My first car was a Mini Clubman estate - with the wooden bits 🙂. I used to take it down to Cornwall on surf trips and at night I'd unbolt the front seat turn it round and sleep in the back! I work for a certain German car company now delivering lots of EV's, BYD's, Ora's and various secondhand cars. The most enjoyable trip I've recently done was a secondhand Mini Countryman (petrol) to Dunfermline from Devon. I loved the car, so comfortable and fun to drive. I've heard the range on Mini EVs isn't good 🤔

    I think the interior is great and as a modern look on the classic MORRIS, MINIi. I just think the headlights should of stayed round and it would of been perfect.

    Brilliant review. I had the older Countryman JCW which was devastatingly upgraded from 230bhp to 300bhp 3 months after I bought it. Currently have an XC40 Recharge Twin, which, feels like it could rip a hole in space time when you floor it. But, range is a challenge outside of cities here in Australia. Seriously considering this new JCW. Would love to keep an EV but the charging infra here is so sparse outside of cities, EVs become a buzz around car that get charged at home. Even the charge network you can access in car parks etc. usually has a tech bros Tesla sat there enjoying an 8hr camp. I do think they should have made this a hybrid though.

    Love the epic sound effects. Agree with others re: that it looks big and not Mini and also ugly. Bring back a nice blue etc normal Mini colours.

    I have always loved that car, but we need to face reality and start focusing on our children's future. Personally, I love to drive an electric car, but for those who need the sound from a motor, you can easily get that in the loudspeakers inside the car. I think it's sad that Mini still hasn't made a real EV-just saying. Thanks for an entertaining video, though.

    Good grief man! Your in nature, stuff all the electronics and look around you, its much better. I use the train a great deal and go through some beautiful countryside and yet most of the people on the train, especially from Teenagers to fifty year olds have their faces buried in one screen or another!

    45 grand for a MINI? Are BMW having a laugh?! Boot space mediocre. Comfort elements overpriced. Engine noise and wind noise far too intrusive. Rear legroom below average for the price. Of course the engine is tuned for enthusiasm and is genuinely good but the idea that a family with kids would go camping using this car is a joke. Perhaps Benny Nomates - but normal people? Naw.
